A full circle moment.

“I trained in the RAD system as a child, so returning as a teacher feels both familiar and incredibly rewarding.”

Based in Turkey and teaching for nine years, Aysenur chose the Certificate in Dance Teaching (Ballet) to deepen her knowledge and grow professionally.

“What I enjoy most is how theory and practice come together - constantly helping me reflect on and improve my teaching.”

With flexible study and a global community, she’s building skills and a stronger professional identity.

“For me, the RAD isn’t just a programme - it’s a lifelong learning partner in my development as a dance teacher.”

This is where it starts! Join one of our online webinars to find out more.
